Dark Poem by James Wakelin

Dark



Please silence for the spoken one speaks
but his language is common, overly used
To be left out in the dark
In the cold
Frank

Quick the quickened do not run
Silence speaks
to deaf ears that hear
And speak words too taught to
hear.

But speak and sound be quiet still
The dark will come the light may be
the dark the light. Heaven!
Respond!
Do quiet look.

I really like the format of your poem and the play on words. A creative write definitely not like all others. Excellent write

Ah, the art of playing with words...! Brilliant! Entertaining, exhilarating, but deeply sad inside... I wonder how many understand this game... I share your love for the paradox: 'deaf ears that hear', 'silence speaks'. Our poems most likely share the same inspiration. How else could we both use the same references? Can't wait to read more from you!
